Photos: Paris Anash Unite for Hakhel

The Lubavitch community of Paris gathered yesterday, Sunday, in the Chabad Shul for a special Hakhel gathering, joining their brethren all over the world in coordinated, simultaneous events.

Thousands of people around the world gathered for the Hakhal event, which was linked together with a live broadcast that featured speakers from Argentina through South Africa, all the way back to the United States.

International participants included: Buenos Aires, Argentina, Johannesburg, South Africa, Kfar Chabad, Israel, Moscow, Russia, Paris, France, S. Paulo, Brazil and London, England.

Participating in New York were children in the Rebbe’s Ohel and Room in 770, as well as a massive gathering in Beis Rivka in Crown Heights. Other participants in North America included Chicago, IL, Houston, TX, Morristown, NJ, S. Paul, MN, Toronto, Canada, Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI and Los Angeles, CA.

All of those participating coordinated the time of the gathering so that everyone was present at the same time – making this a Hakhel gathering of historic proportions.
